Yeah, I didn't preordering.
A) I have no real monies right now. It's all awayed (till next week). B) I don't preorder (UNLESS POKEMON ARE INVOLVED). C) I dunno, but what's the point of making a list without at least three things?
But yeah, once the open demos up I'll be in there like square.
(Also tell how epic it is)

So I've been playing for about 6 hours and this is what I think so far.
First I started out playing Normal (Easy->Normal->Hard->Expert) and it was really easy. There's only 2 stages available for the demo out of the 20 that are in the live version. You also can't play versus mode in the demo, which allows you to play the boss monsters. As far as the game goes, the director is a fine piece of work. No matter how many times you play the infected choose the most random times to fuck you over. One time you might fight like 20 guys then the next time there's none then the next time there's like 5 and a boss then the next time there's like 40 and 4 bosses and it's just insane. Normal difficulty is just trivial, we had to shoot eachother to die. Hard is a balanced challenge and expert is really hard and it takes a few tries to beat a level, but it's fun as hell.
Just when I thought the game was getting a bit routine (again only the first 2 stages are available which are the easiest and the shortest) suddenly a passage we ALWAYS went through was blocked by a wall and we were so confused. Very cool level dynamics and they don't lie when they say a level is never the same. Usually the first part of the first stage is reaaaally slow and the infected are stupid and there's only a few of them for the first 10 minutes, then I played a game and about 40 infected and a boss come out FROM BEHIND US within the first 30 seconds of the game, it was ridiculous.
Anyway, as far as cooperative play goes, I'd give it thus far about a 8-9/10. I think once you can play as the bosses and against the PC bosses the game will be complete and about a 9-9.5/10. Oh and once the achievement system is unlocked, that'll be cool too.

Once I started playing expert difficulty it got a whole lot more fun. Easy through Hard are pretty much trivial difficulty settings and you never really get into "OH SHIT" situations which is what makes the game fun. So probably will be playing through the game on hard a few times then only play expert because that's where it's fun.

Just want to say that this game is fucking amazing hands down. I think I'm going to have to go ahead and give this game a 10/10 on basis of the first 1 and a half levels alone (out of 20). I have not stopped playing it since the demo came out and whenever I'm not playing I want to play again.
Demo out for all people not just preorders on the 11th. Come play with me on Tuesday guys.

I see you preordered Left 4 Dead Thomas. Let me know if you want to play I'll be on steam. I'm trying to tear myself away from it because I got tests and shit coming up but I'll still play anyway because I have no self control.

Left 4 Dead? More like Left 4 GAY!
I was board at work, and I was watching the opening intro video, and it reminded me of that time.
You all remember the time, you were there. The tank comes out from the office building area in Dead Air, and right off the bat Zoey dies. Soon after Sean gets crushed. Me and Thomas run up the stairs taking pot shots, all the way out of the building until right after the Crane/Garbage instance. Then I walk to the next building on the plank of wood and the tank follows, but is too big for the plank, and falls off the building. The music dies, the thumping and shaking of the screen stops, and we're safe. That is until, right before we enter the building again to take some pills, we hear it. The dreaded *thump *thump *thump again. As soon as I turn around, I see the tank as it smacks thomas across the room towards me. I try and run, shooting when I can, but I join the rest of the gang soon after in death. So very very scary, and so very very awesome.
Anyway, I was watching the intro, and at the end, the tank falls off the building from the fire escape, and guess what... THAT'S IT. He doesn't come crawl up some shite and knock everyone out like he did with us. He's just gone, never to kill another survivor until the director deems it so.
That tank shoulda crawled up a pipe, and knocked everyone off that building before the game even starts. Game Over. I used to love the intro before, but now it's just a lie. I expected it from the cake, but et tu Intro?

Dude after zoey died we were running backwards closing doors all the way along, shooting him as he broke through them. I epically mouse cursor'd into the corner as he hit me to death. I watched you guys run to the top of the building in spectator, on thomas. Ater he falls and julian gets off the building, thomas is reloading then about to pop some pills. But in the background somewhitn big and grey is climbing a pipe. His character doesnt see it, I try to warn him but it all happens too fast. Then in a moment it was done, our like 5th attempt at expert with that dumb zoey bot and we got royally pwnt.

So my computer is totally fixed now through the magic of magic and magical deeds. SO we should totally play some L4D tonight or something along those lines. Also, LAN should happen sometimes this week, especially since I have 2 rooms all to myself for awesomeness.
